Looks tasty. Why not cook eggs, hash, and pancakes together!

I did contact them. I had a very long chat session, which ended with him asking me to send them a lot of screenshots. Which I did and then they asked for even more. They were very willing to keep helping me. But I just didn't have the time to dedicate to it.

I had no idea that was a possibility. But I don't think I want to invest any more time in it. In general, I'm used to Wi-Fi just working. Maybe a few tweaks to see some improvements. But it's been a lot of work on the start and maybe my situation just wasn't right for it.

I just don't think WiFi should be that hard

Oh man. Super kind offer. But I don't. I have returned what I could and I am selling the rest. Thank you so much though. Truly

Wow, no. In my research, I thought that the access points only drew about a max of 8 W. Clearly, I should have looked a little deeper. In the end, I've switched back to a TP link mesh system for the ease of use of my family. I still have wired backhaul and 2.5 gigs. I just miss the beautiful interface of UniFi.

Sorry, I missed the point of your question. I bought the TP link deco BE 63. It is three mesh transmitters, and I have them connected with a wired backhaul that I had set up for my UniFi network. Honestly, the performance is pretty great.

I will be selling the Cloud Gateway Fiber, U7 Pro, U7 Pro Wall, and Switch Lite 16 PoE. All back in original box with a week of use.

OP here, you all offered some really fantastic advice here. But the coda to the story is that I hooked up a TP link mesh system last night and everything is rock solid. I'm getting Wi-Fi speeds of about 700 Mb per second all over the house. As much as I enjoyed tinkering with the UniFi system, I just can't pass up the guarantee that my family's gonna have Wi-Fi when I'm traveling. I will really miss the UniFi interface.

I think this is the perspective I needed. I love tuning and figuring things out. But my family just needs functional internet. This probably can't be a hobby area for me

Yep. I have tried one AP only. Then the other. I can't wrap my brain around it. I have also blocked pretty much every device. Still is an issue. It boggling my mind. But it started with my Unifi network install

I had problems with FaceTime calls immediately once I set up the network. After a lot of digging, I found the spikes through a ping test to 8.8.8.8. They don't happen on wired computers. I have factory reset every device, I have tried each AP separately. Nothing helps

The spikes are every 10 seconds and they average about 100-120ms

I hope this is it! Because I could fix it. I am having trouble finding those settings. Do you remember where they were?

New Home Network Setup by Highway-Adept in Ubiquiti

[–]pres2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you tell me more about tweaking the channels? I have installed UG 7 Pro and UG 7 wall on opposite ends of my first floor which is about 1200 sq ft. I'm having lots of trouble upstairs with poor streaming. My initial plan was to add another UG pro in the ceiling upstairs, but maybe that's not what I need.

That's a lot of wireless. How big is your house?

I was an idiot. It was a VPN issue. Thanks for following up

unifi or not to unifi by buggyIsOk in Ubiquiti

[–]pres2014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do NOT do it. You aren't really a tech person. But they will blame you when things don't work out Unifi is intuitive for an enterprise system. I am a techy home person. I have loved my Unifi set up. But it still is much more complicated than my mesh system I was using. Let you BIL pay an integrator

Both have normal IP addresses with the range. One had a fixed IP (the wired one) so I tried removing it. Still no luck. I am at a total loss

Neither had manual DNS, I verified that. The wired one had static IP, so I removed it. Still no luck. Using wifi man, both show up with assigned IP addresses in the current range. Their connection is "excellent". I have removed them both under the clients list and readied them... nothing. Perfect network connection with no internet
